Ioana Mitrache , BACP

Ioana Mitrache is a counsellor with eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Ioana focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or hurt and wants to find clearer ways to move forward.

Her style is relational and compassionate. Sessions are conversational and practical. Ioana listens for patterns that keep repeating and helps people recognise what they can change.

She draws on approaches that include attachment work, cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred ways of meeting people where they are. This mix is aimed at addressing worries such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and difficulties after trauma.

Ioana also supports people facing challenges around relationships, intimacy, grief and life changes. Additional focus areas in her work include addiction, ADHD, body image and caring roles. She is comfortable working with issues that involve alternative sexual cultures and complex family backgrounds.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and she works with international clients. Practical steps for starting are available through the platform's matching and booking process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people understand patterns in their close relationships and offers ways to build safer, more reliable ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard without judgement and helps people find their own solutions by following their lead and reflecting what’s important to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor sessions to suit your needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exploration, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want support between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and different time zones, making it easier to maintain regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
